Going to BSD 8 from RELENG_7

I cvsup and build RELENG_7 many times a week.  This has served me well  
(except for the ZFS boot problem I had that went in and was backed  
out) for quite a while.

I like to track a STABLE release.  When BSD 7 went to 7.1 and to 7.2,  
it all just happened automatically with the way I do things.

Now I am interested on one of my BSD machines to try 8.0.  I need to  
change my cvsup target from RELENG_7 to CURRENT I believe.  Is that  
true?  When will STABLE become 8.0?

Also, does anyone know if there is a project page that talks about  
8.0, its timeline, its features, etc?  If you type "8.0" into the main  
freebsd.org web page it find nothing on the entire web site.   
Obviously something is wrong...

Thanks!
